Message in a Botttle...

So the CRAZIEST thing happened yesterday to Phil. He was fishing at lunch and you would not believe what he caught! (Ok you would becuase I gave it away in the title... oops!) He caught a message in a bottle!

picture found here.

He had to break the bottle to open it, so we have no pictures
of our intact bottle, but here is what he found:

In a blue mineral water bottle (stoppered with a wine cork) were the following items:

1- drywall screw
1-cotton ball
1-small artificial flower
1-q-tip
approx. 12- lentil seeds
1- manuscript written on yellow paper

Another crazy thing about this whole thing is the day it was found/caught was 1 day after the 17th year the letter was dated. In the letter there were 2 authors and you can tell who wrote which paragraph by the pen that was used.

Get your thinking caps on, here it is!

(Kitchen) A simple look into the past,

(Sansalone) When looking for love, I've been searching in places that don't love back. Back to what? To Me? I feel its not a matter of who, its a matter of how.  But I stop to think. Think clearly.  Think opaquely.  When the sword makes the cut, the impact it makes will shake the dust.

(Kitchen) And when it comes to that point, then you look that moment in the eyes and act boldly.  When that moment of love found me, well, I didn't know how to really act.  I didn't know what to do or say.  I was taken back.  I couldn't say anything.

(Sansalone)  But here's what I did.  I gave the Gables away!  I ate the candy, shot the canvas.  A canvas of hope, so much hope that it burns away all copper and slate.  How do I know?  The better question is: Why don't you try?

(Kitchen) But you have to be careful with love, because you will let it into your heart and without warning BAM!!! It will crush you heart, and then you will*( hey look, both wills are right under each other) :-) And thats it.

(Sansalone) For your heated discoveries enclosed are tools to inspire and protrude.  Much quality to be had!

(Sansalone) Just peel back the orange skins of your ambitions and embrace the flavor savor.  Does that mean to completely abandon all logic? Quite the contrary:  Cling close to the spacious...DESTINY!

Isn't this just the craziest/coolest thing ever?!?!?  BUT! I am a bit disappointed by the message and bottle contents--- what the heck does it mean?!!? Are they song lyrics? Someones thoughts? Why the lentil seeds?!?! I have so many questions! Do any of you have any idea what they are trying to say?

We tried to track down the 2 guys last night. Husband and his buddy found S. Sansalone -they think and later that night when we looked we think we tracked K. Kitchen down to TX and we left a message on his phone, we will see if its the right one!

Stay tuned for more updates! If you have any ideas message me or leave a comment, we can use all the help we can get!
